446 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
• Do not drain the engine cooling system.
• Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary for two weeks
or more, idle the engine for approximately five minutes,
with the air conditioning system on and high fan speed.
This will ensure proper lubrication of the system, thus
minimizing the possibility of damage to the compressor
when the vehicle is put back into operation.
NOTE:
When the vehicle has not been started or driven for at least
30 days, an Extended Park Start Procedure is required to
start the vehicle.
Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting And Operating”
for further information.
BODYWORK
Protection From Atmospheric Agents
Vehicle body care requirements vary according to
geographic locations and usage. Chemicals that make roads
passable in snow and ice and those that are sprayed on trees
and road surfaces during other seasons are highly corrosive
to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking, which exposes
your vehicle to airborne contaminants, road surfaces on
which the vehicle is operated, extreme hot or cold weather
and other extreme conditions will have an adverse effect on
paint, metal trim, and underbody protection.
The following maintenance recommendations will enable
you to obtain maximum benefit from the corrosion resistance
built into your vehicle.
CAUTION!
Before removal of the positive and negative terminals to
the battery, wait at least a minute with ignition switch in
the OFF position and close the driver’s door. When
reconnecting the positive and negative terminals to the
battery be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position
and the driver’s door is closed.
